From the era of Rohit-Kohli to the speed of Harshit Rana, those stories of 2025 which every cricket lover will remember.

News India Live, Digital Desk: On this first morning of 2026, when we look back, the year 2025 will be remembered as a ‘turning point’ in the history of Indian cricket. This was a year of discipline, of new discoveries and of memories that we would probably never want to forget.

Gautam Gambhir and his ‘Gambhir-ness’
If 2025 will be known by the name of one person, it is head coach Gautam Gambhir. He changed the old definitions of coaching. Discipline in the team, fearlessness and an attitude of not bowing down under any circumstances – this was ‘Gautam Gambhir Style’. The way he selected the players and showed aggression on the field, it gave a different confidence to Team India. The era of ‘GG’ was actually an era of insistence on ‘becoming a winner’.

‘Ro-Ko’ and that silent morning
To be honest, the year 2025 was a bit emotional for every fan. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli—these two names taught an entire generation to live cricket. In 2025, we saw the ‘grace’ in his game that only comes with experience. Even though this legend is now on the decline of his career, his presence continues to boost the morale of the dressing room. It is not possible to fill their place, but the seeds sown by them have now started bearing fruits.

What did we learn?
2025 taught that cricket is not just a game of swinging the bat, it is a battle of brains and courage. Win or lose, Team India gave the message last year that they are not afraid of anyone.

The calendar of 2026 is filled with T20 World Cup and big series. Hopefully, we will learn from the mistakes of 2025 and create new records this year. Cricket is like this, new hope arises here every day.
